At the same time, An Sui, who was the center of the three people’s conversation, was holding Shen Xiyan’s skirt tightly, making it impossible for her to escape.

“An Sui, how many times have I told you? I won’t invest! Quickly let go! Let go of me!”

Shen Xiyan’s expression was very ugly.

She had to put on a polite smile when someone passed by.

An Sui’s fawning smile didn’t change at all. “Sister Shen, you promised me half a year ago that you would invest in my movie.”

“Does it not count?”

Shen Xiyan pursed her lips. “Then let me think about it again…”

Half a year ago, An Sui had just experienced his first disaster. At that time, no one thought that he would be so unlucky and treated it as a small accident.

Coincidentally, at a business dinner, Shen Xiyan was entangled by someone and was in a dilemma. An Sui came forward to help and the two chatted for a long time.

After learning that An Sui was the only son of the An family and a director, Shen Xiyan casually made a promise. As long as An Sui needed investment in his movie, she would “not shirk her responsibility”.

An Sui wasn’t the kind of person who asked for repayment after helping someone.

Naturally, he didn’t come looking for her after the incident.

This time, if An Sui had not been desperate, he would not have thought of Shen Xiyan.

In the beginning, Shen Xiyan was very tactful and only said that she wanted to discuss it with the people in the company. Later, she directly avoided An Sui and left.

An Sui knew what Shen Xiyan meant, but he didn’t want to give up.

He had expected to see Shen Xiyan tonight.

“Sister Shen said that she would consider it some time ago. Now you’re saying this again. Do you not even want to find a reason to brush me off?”

Shen Xiyan looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer this question.

If it was purely An Sui who asked her for help, then she could just directly refuse or ruthlessly chase him away.

But just because she knew An Sui, the Shen family had relied on this relationship to have a lot of cooperation with the An family.

Once they shed all pretense of cordiality, it would more or less affect the cooperation between the two families.

Shen Xiyan had never been in contact with her family’s business and only had a little self-awareness in this area.

Seeing that the other party was silent, An Sui was very unhappy. However, he remembered that he had a favor to ask of someone, so he could only smile apologetically again.

“Sister Shen, there’s definitely no problem with my script and production team this time. I’ll definitely investigate the entire production team thoroughly before filming. I’ll definitely not let something like that happen again…”

‘Just because you say it won’t happen, it won’t happen?¹ Shen Xiyan cursed in her heart and said coldly, “Even if I want to invest in your movie, the people in the company won’t agree. You’d better find someone else!”

“When Director An has a representative work, I think the people in our company will soon relent. By then, Director An can have as much investment as he wants.”

These words were like drawing a big pie to fool a child.

An Sui suppressed his anger and lowered his voice again. “Sister Shen, if I can’t get any investors, how can 1 have a representative work? You didn’t even fulfill your promise to me in the past. How can I believe that you can fulfill your promise now?”

“Forget it if you don’t believe me.” Shen Xiyan was running out of patience.

She had been dragged here by An Sui for a long time. Hundreds of people at the banquet had seen it. Who knew what they would say about her behind her back!

At the thought of this, she simply said, “If I hadn’t promised you before, our company wouldn’t even consider investing in your movie project!”

“To be honest, Director An, you’re really not suitable for filming. I don’t like the short films you’ve filmed at all. Also, I definitely won’t act in your script. If the fans find out that I’m acting in such a role, I might lose my fans…”

“Director An, perhaps you should be thankful for the unfortunate incident that happened to the production team. This only made you carry the name of being unlucky. No one knows if your film is bad or not!”

Shen Xiyan did not intend to say so much, but once she blurted a words hidden in her heart, the rest naturally followed.

The smile on An Sui’s face was gone.

It was not that he did not hear Shen Xiyan complaining to her agent in private, saying that his skin was as thick as a city wall or something. It did not matter.

However, making movies was something he wanted to do and had been working hard to do.

Shen Xiyan had belittled his ideals.

“Miss Shen, 1 haven’t made a movie yet. It’s not too late for you to comment that it’s a bad movie when I’ve made it!”

The person who had been supporting her suddenly turned hostile. Shen Xiyan did not want to accompany him and sneered, “The important thing is, can you shoot it?”

“Do you know that everyone in the industry is saying that you’re a jinx?”

“If you can really make a movie and it’s not a bad one, I’ll give you as much investment as you want for your next movie!”

An Sui scoffed. “The next movie? Isn’t this letting you off easy?”

Shen Xiyan sneered. “Then I won’t invest in you. I’ll give you ten million for free. How about that?”

A bet of ten million yuan. If she could send An Sui, the god of plague, away, then Shen Xiyan would have made a profit.

Besides, no one dared to throw money at An Sui now, and the An family would not care about him. Where would An Sui film a movie? Should she take a photo?

What a joke!

An Sui knew what Shen Xiyan was planning and asked coldly, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.” After Shen Xiyan answered, she remembered that she had also boasted to An Sui like this last time, so she added, “After the banquet, we can sign a formal contract as proof.”

“But the source of investment for the first movie-”

Shen Xiyan wanted to say that she would never give it to him, but she looked up and met Ye Guiwan’s eyes.

Standing beside Ye Guiwan… was Song Qingyou?

Shen Xiyan immediately changed her words. “The source of investment must be Song Qingyou. If you can get her to invest, the bet will be established.”

An Sui was stunned. “Song Qingyou?”

” Yeah, she’s the boss of Shengshi Entertainment.”

Shen Xiyan didn’t want to talk about Song Qingyou, so she only said this.

The boss of an entertainment company usually invested in film projects. Even if An Sui didn’t know Song Qingyou, he should be able to understand what she meant.

Who knew that after An Sui asked, he suddenly asked, “That… Shengshi Entertainment?”

These words successfully made Shen Xiyan’s face twist for a moment.

“Yes.” Her answer was forced out through gritted teeth.

An Sui didn’t mind. “I heard that the TV series produced by Shengshi Entertainment has gone viral. If they’re willing to invest in my movie, that’s a good thing.”

“But 1 don’t know that Miss Song.”

He didn’t even know her, and she might not even care about him. Then, there was no need to talk about attracting investors.

Shen Xiyan didn’t want to hear how powerful Shengshi Entertainment was at all and scoffed, “It’s a popular TV series because the screenwriter is very good. It has nothing to do with Shengshi Entertainment.”

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet Song Qingyou.”

If she could make An Sui bring bad luck to Song Qingyou, then she would have made a huge profit!

It would be best if An Sui could cause Shengshi Entertainment to fail miserably and directly go bankrupt!
